The problem of defence of the civil population of this Colony against air raid is great, mainly due to the concentration of the main bulk of the population in areas surround- ing military objectives, the densely populated areas with narrow lanes

and tenement type of dwellings.

LIABLE TO PANIC

In addition most of these allers

and streets are so narrow or steep as to preclude the entry of wheeled vehicles. Finally the large and ever changing native population is very able to panic and therefore the problem of instruction in air raid discipline and maintenance of a large proportion of poorer classes of Chinese.

"Air attacks on the Colony may be made either by shore based alr- from bases established in. craft say, North China, or by sea borne

alrcraft from carriers, and these raids may be expected in the very early stages of the war-it is con- 'ceivable that the rald might take place even before the official de- claration of war.
